crawfish-star

We’d like to thank Don, who was born in Louisiana and now resides in Houston, for explaining to us the finer points of crawfish. He even gave us a close up of one of the thousands of stars of the festival on Saturday. The crawfish for the festival were delivered from Louisiana.

Mini Cheesecake: 83 & Company

83 & Company, Green Street’s Mini Cheesecake Factory

From the outside, the renovations done at 115 Green Street are impressive. Inside there are some great things going on as well. We recently visited the property, which is home to 83 & Company (and the $7 lunch special). The food was simple, but good.  The bulk of the business seems geared toward the Three C’s: Cakes, Cupcakes and Cheesecake.

The mini cheesecakes (included with lunch) are the perfect afternoon sugar fix.

Vegetable Delight (Kitchen Series)

Vegetable Delight (Kitchen Series)

Thanks to the customer service department of the Dewitt Barnes & Noble for unveiling for us the newly arrived The Photography of the Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold recently. The coffee-table book, which may be more dense and  than a coffee table itself, features the perfect blend of science, photography and gastronomy. The macro shots, microscopic shots and high-speed shots are captured in Myhrvold’s lab/kitchen using a variety of cameras puts a new-school, almost Gladwellian spin on previous a previous work by Charles Jones.  Here is a clip of Myhrvold talking to Charlie Rose this week about the project. The book is a great gift idea for all you photographers, scientists or body builders.

Shake Shack, Washington, DC

Washington, buy viagra DC

We saw a poll this morning online and were not surprised that data showed Chick Fil-A is the most desired fast food franchise here in Central New York.  Another one of our favorites is Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack.  Shake Shack is not a franchise, but would be a great addition to Armory Square or the Connective Corridor.

Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin visited with George Kilpatrick at the Jamaican Diner this evening to kick-off his 10th Anniversary of New Inspiration for the Nation.

Onondaga County Legislator Linda Ervin visited with George Kilpatrick at the Jamerican Diner this evening.

New Inspiration for the Nation’s George Kilpatrick held a “Power Schmooze” event this evening at the Jamerican Diner, located at 415 East Washington Street. The guests were treated to home-made Jamaican fruit punch and samples of sweet cheese bread and savory jerk chicken.

The cozy spot on the edge of downtown maybe one of the best kept gastronomic secrets along the Connective Corridor.  If you are planning a foodie tour of center city, this place would be a great place to kick it off.
